Who would be the audience for your
media product?
Within a magazine production, it is usually very clear straight away what the target audience is, and the message the magazine is trying to send them. As I had chosen Pop as my genre for my final product, a music magazine, I needed to chose a target audience that would enjoy this genre of music, therefore would want to continually buy my product.
After doing some research on other pop magazines, I noticed that these magazines are mainly aimed at teenagers, aged between 11-16.( Some being aimed at girls specifically). I wanted to create something original and fresh, but still attract this popular audience.
For example, on the 'We Love Pop' magazine website http://www.welovepopmag.co.uk/about
I discovered their target audience was labelled as 'pop loving teenagers', they weren't specific on age or gender.
But on their publishers' website (Egmont) http://www.egmont.co.uk/magazines.asp?pane=teen&mag=welovepop it stated that the magazine was aimed specifically at '13-16 year old girls'.
